Streamer question
Please pardon my ignorance, but I've researched and I'm not finding what I'm looking for.
I currently house my music library in this configuration: NAS > PC > USB > DAC > RCA > Integrated amp. I use Roon as my primary and the Roon core is on an SSD plugged into the NAS. I run Tidal via Roon.
I'm looking for a streaming device to eliminate the USB cable, but that allows me to stream from my personal library (using Roon) as well as Tidal (while not using Roon).
Roon is flaky for me and sometimes I find it's not worth the hassle of dealing with, so I'd like to option to simplify things and stream directly from Tidal.
Everything I see is for streaming from a service (Roon/Quboz), but I'm not finding much on streaming my own personal library as well.
Hope this makes sense. Any help appreciated!
I will admit, I hate the corporate definition of "call us for assistance" equates to "post in this forum", and dozens of know-it-alls with no real experience may or may not respond to your inquiry. |
@mclinnguy, Ah, I understand your statement now. You’re including all albums of an artist’s works, by the artist himself, or by others. |
Roon doesn’t like albums that can’t be identified as an official commercial release and its metadata update service chokes on too many. So a bootleg collector might not be the best use case for it. Roon’s library function isn’t exactly industrial strength. Many people have no problem but tend not to be the heavy local collection users with lots of custom stuff. |
I'm fine if Roon has "limitations " but you won't find any mention of that when they are trying to get you to buy their service. They should let all prospective users know that they can't handle certain libraries and then let the customer decide if they want to proceed. That would be fair , responsible , and transparent But as I discovered over a long 16 months Most of Roons "tech support" folks have no idea of this = Bush league or consciously deceptive...as a customer neither is great |
